roof snow zone 3.5

[linkanbygg]

Who should you believe, the cabin manufacturer and the construction company that assembled the roof according to the cabin manufacturer's drawings, or the carpenter? The construction company has completed the framework and assembled the roof entirely according to Jörnträhus' drawings and instructions for snow zone 3.5. Now the carpenter claims that it's not sufficient and that the roof must be further reinforced, otherwise there's a risk the roof could detach, saying it was lucky there wasn't more snow on the roof last winter. The carpenter refused to insulate the roof and install the interior ceiling panel unless he could further secure the roof. Who is right?

If you have a construction that complies with the EKS for the current location, you can rely on it.

Is it that it will blow away that the builder is afraid of?

Is it a turnkey contract or a performance-based contract the builder is hired for? It sounds like a performance-based contract and, in that case, the builder is not responsible for anything other than doing exactly according to the drawing/instructions. The supplier is responsible for the construction.

If the builder does not want to do what they are hired for, they may be liable for compensation if you have to hire someone else to complete it.

But now we're getting into law and contracts...

It is completely impossible for us to make that assessment without seeing the construction, but most likely it is the house manufacturer. Carpenters are not designers; they should, in that case, point out which parts are deficient and provide some form of calculation to underline it...
